Farmington National Honor Society rocks the night away

FARMINGTON — The Farmington National Honor Society recently held their second annual Rock-a-Thon to benefit a local cause.

Nathan Turner, a 2010 graduate of Farmington High School, died tragically in September. The proceeds of the Rock-a-Thon will go to his family to help with medical and funeral costs. Pledges were taken per hour and flat rate and the NHS members (and perspective members) rocked in their rocking chairs from 9 pm Dec. 3 to 7 am Dec. 4.

22 students participated and $900 was raised on behalf of the Turner family.

The students had plenty of entertainment to keep them awake with X-box games and many movies. We would like to give a special thanks to Farmington House of Pizza and Honey Dew Donuts for their generous donations.
